Object: Gnarled tree trunk salt-glazed garden ornament.
Text: W. Hudspith Haltwhistle South Tyne Works
Date: 1860s
Location: Haltwhistle High Street (NY70656407)
Notes: The object is now in use as a gate-post and has been altered and repaired. It bears two maker’s stamps, one half destroyed, and a hand-written signature “T R 186”. Presumably, the last digit of the date has been obscured. This individual may have been Thomas Reay, brother of William who was a co-founder of the Errington Reay pottery which still makes salt-glazed ware at Bardon Mill.
